Chapter 97 - Joining Forces

A flirtatious atmosphere filled the bedroom.

After the two of them returned from the streets, Li Nanchen forced Wu Mei to stay with him on the grounds that he needed her protection.

Listening to the sound of water flowing in the bathroom, Wu Mei stood up in frustration and kicked the glass door open in a fit of pique. Looking at the naked and shocked man, she crossed her arms and leaned against the sink as she deliberately said, “Didn’t you want personal protection? This is close enough. You don’t mind, do you?”

Surprise flashed across Li Nanchen’s eyes. His wet hair fell on his forehead, blocking his smiling gaze.

Steam swirled around her and Wu Mei instinctively sensed danger.

“I wouldn’t mind being closer.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Li Nanchen pulled her into his arms. The water from the showerhead wet her clothes and her clothes pressed against her body, outlining her graceful figure.

Wu Mei forced her eyes open. Li Nanchen gently lifted her chin and kissed her deeply.

At that moment, Li Nanchen was emitting an extremely masculine aura. He seemed to be declaring his possession rights over her, making Wu Mei unable to fight against him. Her body turned limp as she scratched his firm arm and bit his thin lips like a wild cat. Her breathing grew unsteady.

As if trying to please her, Li Nanchen gently nudged her waist. Looking into Wu Mei’s lustful eyes, he murmured, “Don’t leave my sight!”

…

In the villa, when the collateral branch of the Li Family found out that Lin Piaopiao was in the detention center, they were so angry that they called Lin Liguo and berated the Lin family members for being a good-for-nothings!

“Lin Piaopiao has a criminal record in the detention center. If this gets exposed, how can the Li family accept her marrying in?”

“If you guys can’t handle the situation well and let Li Nanchen continue to be with Wu Mei, get lost from the villa as soon as possible!”

“We will find other partners! What a waste of our trust. Li Nanchen is a normal man. He has been divorced from Wu Mei for so long, yet Lin Piaopiao still can’t settle him. She’s really just a pretty face that is of no use!”

The Li family relatives’ tones were vicious, and their attitude was filled with contempt and derision. They immediately informed Lin Liguo that they would only give him a few more days!

Gnashing his teeth in hatred, Lin Liguo hung up the phone. He turned around and stared at the Li family villa. Almost every night, he dreamed of being the owner of this place. Right now, he had to think of a way to get rid of Wu Mei and chase her away from Li Nanchen!

“I got it!”

He suddenly remembered that Wu Mei had not been on good terms with her father. He then obtained Wu Pang’s number through an acquaintance.

In the servant building, Wu Pang was so angry that he wanted to lose his temper when he saw the bland-tasting dishes. However, his phone suddenly vibrated.

Looking at the unfamiliar number, he picked up the phone warily and said, “Hello?”

“Is this Wu Mei’s father?”

“I have a business deal to discuss with you. Is it convenient for us to meet?”

…

In the cafe.

Wu Pang and Yang Shan came together. They sized up the unfamiliar Lin Liguo and asked with a frown, “Who are you? What do you want to work with us on?”

Currently, a lot of the Wu Corporation’s shares and executive rights are in Wu Mei’s hands. Wu Pang did not have any liquidity to turn the tables on her!

Lin Liguo ordered two cups of coffee for them and slowly threw him the bait. He probed, “You guys hate Wu Mei too, don’t you? You hope that she will lose everything and live a miserable life on the streets! I have the same thoughts as you guys…”

“I heard that you guys are living in the servant building? Looks like Wu Mei doesn’t treat you as her biological father!”

“If you can think of a way to separate Wu Mei and Li Nanchen, I can give you a sum of money. You’re Wu Mei’s father, so you know very well what her weaknesses are. This is a one-million-dollar deposit. After this is settled, there will be other benefits… For example, helping you take back the company!” Lin Liguo made empty promises. However, Wu Pang was extremely tempted!

Yang Shan went to the ATM at the bank and saw the string of numbers. She encouraged Wu Pang, “Wu Mei doesn’t have any feelings for us, but she listens to that woman! As long as that woman talks, Wu Mei will definitely listen! Isn’t she extremely filial?”

“I know a pretty good psychiatrist! He can use psychological persuasion to make that woman subconsciously think that Li Nanchen is dangerous. As long as she goes crazy and forces Wu Mei to stay away from Li Nanchen, we will be able to take back the company!”

Wu Pang’s ambition gradually rose. That night, he drove Mother Wu to the psychiatrist’s residence and brainwashed her!

Buzz…

Wu Mei’s phone rang and she fished it out while lying in Li Nanchen’s arms.

“Wu Mei? Get back here quickly. Your mother wants to slit her wrist and commit suicide. She said she wants to see you! If you’re too late, you won’t be able to see her anymore!” Wu Pang’s roar rang out from the receiver. Wu Mei sprang up abruptly, threw on a jacket over her pajamas, and dashed out of the door. She then rushed to the Wu Family villa in her slippers…
